How to mouse scroll with Git Bash?

Question

Using Git Bash or MinGW Shell, if I put in a command with much output, for example env, I cannot mouse scroll. A regular old Command Prompt (cmd.exe) window will do this however.

Enable Quick Edit mode

Open Properties: AltSpace, then P (for properties)
Under Options tab > Edit Options > Check Quick Edit > Hit OK

Now you will be able to scroll with mouse.

To *permanently* enable Quick Edit, open Properties from the Git Bash program shortcut. – Jim Fell Jan 08 '15 at 14:45

In the latest version of the git bash you don't have any property such as Quick Edit but then too your scroll might not work as it was my case..

press alt + space then click options and go to window then
Simply change your scrollbar location from right to left or vice versa then it will work, at least worked for me.
